If you do business in New York, then there are some changes that can affect your office. One big one right now among healthcare providers is a new moratorium on Medicaid provider enrollments. This freeze, announced on July 30th, affects six different high-risk provider categories, including labs, DME suppliers, Licensed Home Care Service Agencies, and even pharmacies. Essentially, for this six-month period, New York State Medicaid is not going to touch provider information. Well, when that affects your business, it’s time to talk to a professional.

What’s Included In This Medicaid Moratorium?
When you are affected, you need to know. On July 30th, 2026, New York State Medicaid Director Amir Bassiri announced a moratorium on new Medicaid provider enrollments. This moratorium extends to certain key areas, ones that have seen higher instances of fraud, waste and abuse.
The higher-risk provider categories are:
Laboratories
Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Suppliers
Applied Behavioral Analysts (ABA)
Licensed Home Care Service Agencies (LHCSAs)
Pharmacies
Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC) plans
Now, New York Medicaid is serious when they say that they’re not touching provider information in these categories. For the next six months, no new providers will be approved, and that’s a real administrative issue. If you work in one of these areas, it’s important to meet with legal and compliance professionals to figure out your next steps.
In The Middle Of A Transaction?
A Medicaid moratorium can really impact a new provider’s ability to deliver care. It can also be a major issue for offices in the middle of a merger, acquisition, or restructuring. If your team is planning something in New York, and it’s related to one of those six higher-risk categories, let’s talk. We know that “business as usual” no longer works.
